Default Leeks running to seed

In the past, mine have run to seed in Feb/March, which
time there's little left to harvest. Any ideas why it
should happen so early? TIA.

When do you sow the seed and when do you plant out?

Sow in April and plant out in June. One variety is
Musselborough, but not sure about the other one.
